What is retirement corpus?
Retirement corpus is the amount you need at retirement. The amount should be based on your expenditure at that stage and for the amount you need for the rest of your life.
What should be inflation?
Inflation is not static. It keeps changing. So, a standard inflation rate can be decided. It can be 6 or 7 per cent.
How much investment is necessary?
Your current age, inflation, the retirement age, and life expectancy should be the factors to decide the amount. The investment types can be a mix of market- and non-market-linked. Since the return and interest rate will keep changing, the investor needs to chase a standard annualised rate of return that can help them accomplish the retirement corpus goal in the long term.
Calculations for story
Here, we are taking Rs 85,000 as the inflation-adjusted target amount. Ages are 25, 30, and 35 years. We will take the retirement age as 60, and the life expectancy as 80 years. We will calculate the corpus required in either case, the monthly SIP amount, and the lump sum amount required to chase the target.
What will be rates of return?
We are keeping a 12 per cent as the pre-retirement rate of return and a 6 per cent as the post-retirement return. The inflation rate will be 6 per cent.
